Saddened to learn of Denny's passing. Courageously battled his illness for many years. Great friend to our Alma Mater. Despite significant success, he remained a very down to earth guy. Muhlenberg Countians and countless others were blessed to him in their midst.

It has been many years since I've seen Denny. My family lived in Livermore in the 1970's and he was the coach of my Junior Pro basketball team, the Colonels. He was a great coach and never raised his voice and always cared about the boys on his basketball team. At the end of the season, he took our whole team up to Louisville to see the Kentucky Colonels play in Freedom Hall, my first time ever seeing a professional sports team play. He taught me lessons on basketball, but more importantly, lessons on life. He was a true gentleman and I know that his passing is a great loss to the community. May God bless and comfort his family at this time.

To let you know Brenda, Brent and Paul that my family is remembering yours in prayers. My husband, Robert, worked at the Bank of Dundee many years ago and knew Denny. Robert thought so much of Denny and often said what a fine man he was. Thinking of you.
